touch to focus camera app - LG Optimus Black

hi guys..
i was using cm10 and really liked the touch to focus option in the camera. but because of the bugs present i had to go back to gingerbread and now i miss the touch to focus option. so do any of you know a camera app that have the touch to focus option on gingerbread? i did some research and it seems like very few phones have this option with gingerbread. any help welcome!

afaik, in stock gingerbread camera app already has that feature
for 3rd party app, camera360 app has it

press and hold the area you want to focus, in stock LG gingerbread camera app

Fotor. A great camera app! I use it more than any stock camera app.
Posted from my Optimus Black w/ CM10 (Dark Mod 0.3)

thanks for replies guys. i tried the camera360 and fotor..but the focus does not work the way it does in cm10. the best ive found is camera fv-5.

camera ics from playstore has touch to focus
pretty much the same as jb camera

yea but its touch to focus option only works from 4.0 onwards. not on gb.

Oops...sorry didn't know!

Interesting, I have Zeus 7.03 (gingerbread) and I can touch focus with CameraPro application.

No, touch to focus is also available on gingerbread stock camera. To activate, touch and hold the area you want to focus in the viewfinder

[Q] stock camera.apk

(SOLVED) can close 3D
I dont know if its applicable with this version of the optimuos but the lg camera ap was posted in the g2x forums try searching there.
I am very dissapointed with O4X stock camera. Hard to focus especially in night /low light condition (without flash)
Why LG only provide 2 mode for focusing, and those mode works almost the same way?
Manual focusing by tapping on screen doesn`t help improve quality.
They should add more focusing mode like macro etc.

Best camera app for DHD on ICS

Hello all.
Did somebody came up yet with a better solution than Camera Zoom FX (can be paid)?
It could be nice to have something like FX, but with touch to focus, sharpness options and some video recorder (as a seperate app) which could do 720p (?)
PS. Is it just me, or is there barely any difference compared HTC 5 and 8 mpx cameras?
I mean, look at these http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire-review-468p9.php
try these
am using UCam ultra which is working fine with more light spaces. where as in less light you will be seeing blurred or some dark pixels...
you can go for multi lens camera also. its different and funny
Thanks, will look at it.
Miui gb camera. You'll have to trouble shoot to get it working properly, but after that picture clarity is on par with HTC sense's camera.

Also Camera 360 is not bad either. A lot of options and good (I think) quality.
Still, in low light the pictures are quite bad, but I think that is a problem of the phone, not the camera app (I have tried several, the same result).
I use camera pro app. Works flawless

I thing best camera app. - stock! But alternative - lgcamera.
In my opinion the "UCam-App" is the best

For some reasons, for all of apps above, there are glitches issue.
Ucam seems awesome, clean interface, useful features. Too bad it doensn't work, it restart right after I taken picture of it.
I think it's a kernel issue if Ucam is force closing.'Cause the app "use" the stock camera to take pictures. And if you're stock camera is buggy, a 3rd app wouldn't work. Tell me if i'm wrong

I get Ucam v2.3 force close only on Lord's IceCold. But works very good with Ucam v1.6.
JellyBean MIUI ROM ported for DHD has properly working touch to focus function with what seems to be the stock AOSP camera... It's a shame tho this ROM has many visual bugs, and using any other app that uses camera (instagram, barcode scanners..) is almost impossible as they give huge artifacts...
The question is, is it possible to somehow port camera used in MIUI JB ROM to AOSP ROMS and not f&^* up qcode scanners?

Using Ucam 1.1.6 on Lords ICS 8.6.1., works like a charm.
Can you upload it please?
hotfile mirror takes for ever to download (limit reached).
Uhm it's like in the first google search result for ucam 1.1.6. ....
Uhm... I'am surprised i missed that
Been digging to deep i suppose ;D
I'm using Camera Zoom FX for about a year, haven't found the better one with at least the same speed.
I really enjoy using camera360

Camera blurry

The camera of my 2x is very blurry if the object is very close. Focus doesn't work, it only get's red. Barcode scanning for example is impossible...
I tried several camera apps and some camera mods, but without success. So I don't think the camera app causes the error.
The front camera works well! Is it possible to patch the main camera?
Thank you for your help!!

Say us about your setup. This is modding forum so i think, that you might have your own set up.
Hi!
I'm running Gueste 3.6 ROM, it's based on CM7. I use the standard LG camera app as well as the app from cyanogen.
It doesn't matter which app I use, if I take a picture from close it is blurry. Autofocus doesn't work too.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda app-developers app
I have the modded CM7 camera by Stefan I think. Its on the first page of Temasek CM7.
So I have the sane problem too. The only way I can manage close up pictures is by using manual focus and then adjusting from there.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda app-developers app
Manual focus doesn't work too. Maybe it's a problem with camera driver? Is there something like a driver in android?
A friend has the same device and same baseband and same rom, he has no problems at all... I don't understand that...

upgrade to 10F maybe it help with the focus
Not a big fan of the camera neither, I can't figure out how to take clear pics. Many pics isn't sharp.
I have 3 different camera apps and none of them is good on inside photo..
I have the original app, camera zoom fx and lgcamera, where lgcamera is the worst. Only on auto focus the camera actually focus (original). Still I get pics that isn't sharp.
I'm on 10f... For me it seems like it got worse after the latest update...

i have lgcamera pro and the free version, images are hits and misses (sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad). im using camera360 and camera zoom fx as well.
have you tried changing the focus mode to fixed, or other modes?
I start to think that the only good camera that LG had, was the Viewty I, Viewty II its not bad too... Instead of learn... they do worst.

Yes..
In the original camera app there's only auto and face reckoning...
In camera zoom fx it won't focus in fixed mode, macro and infinity just taking the pic with ones. Lgcamera is the same and camera360 focused a bit (macro)..

Well, o2x takes better pics, even my transformer prime takes better photos.. but besides that, I love the phone!

I don't think it's bad and I don't really have any problems with focusing. I just touch the screen where i want to focus and when it is focused I press the the shutter button (or volume button).
I also had the N8 (well 3 actually) and woow I liked that camera, though I had problems with the screen, pink tint and things like that. After the third phone I took the money back. It would have been very nice if the N8 was an android phone.
I love it too,i hope the next version will better than now:laugh::laugh:

I recommend u to use Camera ICS+, I purchased it and it works perfect for me. You may try the free version, which is Camera ICS, it is actually the google stock camera with some mods, but I personally think it is even better than the stock LG camera app, hope u enjoy it.:good:
I use lgCamera, both free and pro version can provide better pictures with ISO and focus control, but sometimes it cannot save picture properly (resulted in picture without thumbnail)

It is changeable. Current duration is set at 3 seconds. How long do you want it to be?
Code: .field public static final RELEASE_TOUCH_AF_DURATION:I = 0xbb8
where bb8 = 3000 (ms)

result is the final picture is blurry, and details lost although its tries to focus. its not just the visual part, seems to be a combo

[Q] ROM with best camera/video quality

Hello everyone, i've been using 4.2.2 Tonyp rom for the last 6 months, but the camera is really bad. The video recording is horrible, and i am unhappy about owning a phone capable of 1080p recording but not being able to use it.
Is there any 4.1 or 4.2 ROM with good camera ?
Or I have to use the original stock ROM in order to get acceptable camera quality?
Thanks in advance
Have you flashed feav's camera mod? It ports the stock camera app to Cyanogenmod.

Thanks for the hint! I'm facing similar problems, and I try to use @feav mode to improve camera quality.
The last Cyanogenmod nightlies camera quality are not really good enough.
Thanks again for the share!
I use lg camera for photo and video, also motoblur for video and hdr camera for photo
